The first Alfa Romeo Giulietta in the series appeared at a special preview in Valentino Park, Turin, during the spring of 1954, before being officially unveiled at the city's motor show that same year. In 1985, Angelo Tito Anselmi, one of the sector's authoritative historians, devoted a book to the car that contained a wealth of photographs, designs and manufacturer's official documents, a work that was completed with a list of all the Giulietta's victories between 1955 and 1965, as well as the chassis numbers of each series.
